    What’s next, the superhero landing?

    A different branch on IP law but for decades Marvel and DC had a shared trademark on “Super Hero”.

    If either felt they could argue it was a unique trade identifier they would have claimed it exclusively but instead they claimed shared ownership and used it to lock out competition in the space from 1979 to 2024.
